A gala reception and awards ceremony on Aug. 4 named Kathy Sampsel as both first-prize winner in photography and “best of show” winner. Sampsel’s winning photo was printed on metal and entitled “Haleakala, Rare and Sacred.”

The Seaside Aquarium’s pipefish are having babies. This relative of the seahorse passes eggs from the female to the male, who carries them in a specialized pouch until they hatch, reported Tiffany Boothe of the aquarium.

They are very small only about 1/2 in length and only as thick as a single strand of hair. The pipefish have found a home at the aquarium for a little more than a year and a half, Boothe said. They are a local fish that lives in the region’s estuaries, found most places where eel grass is plentiful.

Each pipefish had about 30 babies, she said. “All in total we are attempting to raise 61 newly hatched pipefish.”

The biggest hurdle when raising these small fish is a good food source, she added. “We will do plankton tows daily and supplement with a special type of brine shrimp.”

The company of young actors, sponsored by Jeremy Mills State Farm and the Sunset Empire Park and Recreation District, will perform the play at 2 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays, Aug. 11, 12, 18 and 19.

Sherlock Holmes is missing, and the streets of London are awash with crime. Who will save the day? The Baker Street Irregulars—a gang of street kids hired by Sherlock himself to help solve cases. Now they must band together to prove not only that Sherlock is not dead but also to find the mayor’s missing daughter, untangle a murder mystery from their own past, and face the masked criminal mastermind behind it all—a bandit who just may be the brilliant evil Moriarty, the man who killed Sherlock himself! Can a group of orphans, pickpockets, inventors and artists rescue the people of London? The game is afoot!

This production, adapted by Eric Coble from the graphic novels by Tony Lee and Dan Boultwood, is also sponsored by the Inn at Seaside and River Inn at Seaside, and made possible through a grant from the Clatsop County Cultural Coalition.

Events are free and open to the public. Donations to support the children’s theater are welcome. During intermission, refreshments will be available for purchase. There also will be drawings for prizes donated by local businesses.

http://www.dailyastorian.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2018180729829When Lexie Hallahan started bodyboarding in Seaside in 1989, she remembers being one of four other women regulars in the water. It seemed to her like nearly all the surfers on the Oregon Coast were men.

These days, there are many women in the lineup at local surf spots like the Cove in Seaside and Short Sand Beach at Oswald West State Park.

While women have been an important part of surfing’s international growth, both on the professional stage and in popular culture, they still feel the influence of the sport’s historically male focus.

Local surfers credit Hallahan and others for shrugging off barriers and carving out space for women.

Hallahan put together her first all-women surf camp more than a decade ago. That first weekend, she watched as 16 women transformed from hesitant to confident in the waves. She estimates she has since taught more than 700 women to surf.

“I got a full-on epiphany out in the water,” said Hallahan, who teaches at the Seaside-based Northwest Women’s Surf Camps. “I was like, ‘Oh, my God, I’m supposed to be teaching women to surf. This is my calling.’”

Surf spots can be unwelcoming for newcomers, especially for inexperienced surfers, and some women say they feel a little extra pressure to prove themselves.

“You have to go out there and catch a wave and surf it well, the first wave, or sometimes they’ll think you can’t surf,” said Brianna Ortega, a surfer in Seaside. “If you’re just sitting out there, they’ll assume you can’t surf. As a woman, not just for me but for everyone, you really have to prove yourself.”

Aiden Herth, a surfing coach at Hallahan’s camps, grew up surfing on Long Island, New York, where she said she rarely saw a woman with her in the water. She has noticed more women in the water on the West Coast, but still sees some difficulties.

“I’ve had tons of guys cut my line off,” she said.

Ortega is doing her part to change the way women surfers are portrayed in the media. The women stars of the World Surf League are recognized as elite athletes, and advertisers have long seen the potential of marketing surf apparel to women, but there are still stereotypes of women in bikinis posing with surfboards on the beach instead of out on the waves.

Ortega’s new magazine, Sea Together, aims to bring the global community of women surfers together and present their experiences through creative writing and interviews.

“I’m putting all of my frustrations into this, and doing a positive thing,” she said.

She raised over $10,000 through Kickstarter for the magazine’s production and received donated writing, photography and interviews from world-class surfers like Carissa Moore of Hawaii. Emi Koch, a surfer from California who founded a nonprofit that uses surfing to teach ecological awareness, sent Ortega seashells from Indonesia as a sign of appreciation.

Sea Together’s first 100-page issue will be released at a launch party on Aug. 6 at Leeward Surf in Portland.

“We want to take the negative and turn it into something positive,” Ortega said. “Otherwise we’re not going to move forward or make any progress.”

The surf spots on the North Coast, where the water is cold and rugged, can be challenging. Hallahan remembers the days when there were no cold-water wetsuits made for women because manufacturers thought there were not enough women who wanted to paddle out.

When Hallahan first launched her surf camps, she hoped to create a women’s surf community that would stick.

“I can confidently say that it’s at a point now where it will continue to grow and there will always be women surfing on the Oregon Coast,” she said.

One of the most popular mysteries of the Oregon Coast has been the identification of the “Beeswax Wreck” at Nehalem Beach, in Tillamook County.

Identified over time by various researchers as either a Chinese or Japanese junk, a Spanish galleon, a Portuguese trader, or a lost English or Dutch pirate vessel, we have been able to determine that the ship was in fact a Spanish Galleon of the Manila Trade.

Nehalem Indian oral histories and the journals of the earliest traders in the area indicate that the galleon wrecked prior to European settlement — indeed, before most European exploration of the Pacific Northwest. The site has been buried for the last 100 years.

However, blocks of beeswax are occasionally found by beachcombers in the sand dunes adjacent to the site.

Archaeologists have recovered assemblages of Chinese porcelain sherds from nearby archaeological sites, including some that were modified into projectile points by local Nehalem Native Americans. These sherds display design motifs indicating they were manufactured in China in the late 17th century and were intended for export to the European market. Analysis of the motifs indicates the majority of the porcelain was manufactured sometime between 1680 and 1700 AD.

Radiocarbon samples from wood known to be associated with the wrecked vessel and beeswax blocks that were part of her cargo have also been dated, and, while not as precise as the ceramic dates, they also indicate the vessel is from the period of the Spanish Manila Trade.
